Hey Team
Most people try to think their way into embodiment.
But embodiment isn’t thinking.
Embodiment is sensation awareness.
Your nervous system learns presence through:

✅ slowness
✅ rhythm
✅ sensory input

Try this the next time you’re dysregulated:
💡 drink slowly
💡 feel the warmth on your tongue
💡 trace the mug with your fingertips
This shifts your brain out of future thinking
and into body noticing.

🧠 SCIENCE:
This activates interoception — the part of your brain that maps internal sensation.
The more interoception you have, the more pleasure and al!gnment you can feel.
You don’t need more discipline.
You need more sensation.

Hey Team
January is Cervical Health Awareness Month 💙
Your cervix is connected to:

your nervous system

your emotional state

your sense of safety
Your body is not resisting —
it’s communicating.

Hey Team

If you wait for your body to _feel in the mood_, you may wait forever.

Des!re is not random.
Des!re is **trained through repetition.**

Just like meditation builds focus…
Pleasure practices build **capacity.**

Try this:

1. Set a 5-minute timer
2. Explore sensation on your _arms, thighs, collarbone_
3. Track sensation — don’t chase ar0usal

🧠 _SCIENCE:_
Pleasure mapping increases **interoception**, the brain’s ability to feel internal sensation.
That activates the insula (pleasure/perception center) and quiets the amygdala (fear/shutdown center).

Pleasure is not about intensity.
It’s about **awareness.**

Hey Team,
Your nervous system decides how much openness, sensation, and d€sire you can access.
Not your mindset.
Not your motivation.
Your nervous system.

If your body is in:
⚠️ fight
⚠️ flight
⚠️ freeze

… blood flow moves away from the pelvis, and openness shuts down.
When you step barefoot on the ground, your brain receives a proprioceptive safety signal:

➡️ “I am here.”
➡️ “I am safe.”

Then you layer breath on top:
1.
Hand on chest
2.
Hand on lower belly
3.
Inhale through the nose
4.
Long exhale like you’re fogging a mirror

🧠 SCIENCE:
Exhaling longer than you inhale activates the vagus nerve — your body’s braking system.
When that kicks in, your pelvic floor receives the message:
✨ “You can soften.”
✨ “You can open.”
Your body doesn’t resist intimacy —
it protects you when you’re stressed.

Hey Everyone!

Your pelvis holds your emotional history.

Fear = tightness
Shame = numbness
Safety = openness

Most people try to “activate” their pelvic floor.
But true pelvic vitality begins with softness.
When you place your hands over your pelvis, you create:

pressure

warmth

proprioception

Those three signals tell the nervous system:
➡️ “There is contact.”
➡️ “There is presence.”
➡️ “We can stop bracing here.”

🧠 SCIENCE:
When tension drops in the belly, your diaphragm can descend fully —
which automatically softens the pelvic floor.

No forcing.

No pushing.

Your pelvis opens through trust, not technique.
Whisper to your body:
“I’m not here to hurry you.”

Hey Pleasure Seekers

Holiday cheer shouldn’t mean relinquishing personal comfort. Studies confirm that asserting boundaries reduces stress and enhances emotional well-being. Enjoy the festivities without compromising your safety or sense of control.

✨ Practical Tip: Practice a simple phrase like “I’m not comfortable with that” before events. Rehearsing it empowers you to respond calmly if pressured.
